What
Will Happen for My I-485 Application if My Company Has to Relocate
Me?

Dr. William:

I
filed I-140 about 3 months ago based on approved labor certification, my I-140
is pending and waiting for adjudication. Would the visa retrogression delay the processing of
my I-140 petition?

Also,
since I will not be able to file I-485 for years as a Chinese, what will
happen for my I-485 application if my company has to relocate me to another
state in the future?

Answer:

The visa retrogression may not delay the processing of
your I-140 petition, because USCIS is trying to reduce the processing times of all the petitions and applications,
including I-140 and I-485.

Your employer's approved labor certification is
location-specific. Your employer has to prove the existence of the labor certified job at the
specific location, if your employer fails to prove it, the USCIS may deny your
I-140 petition or I-485 application.
